---+++ <nop>JavaParty -  A distributed companion to Java
"<nop>JavaParty allows easy port of multi-threaded Java programs to distributed environments such as clusters. Regular Java already supports parallel applications with threads and synchronization mechanisms. While multi-threaded Java programs are limited to a single address space, <nop>JavaParty extends the capabilities of Java to distributed computing environments."

---+++ Manta - Fast Parallel Java
"Manta is a native Java compiler. It compiles Java source codes to x86 executables. Its goals are to beat the performance of all current Java implementations. Currently it already contains a highly efficient RMI implementation (source code compatible with std. RMI). It is currently about 30 times faster than standard implementations. Class libraries are taken from Kaffe, classpath and partly homebrew."

---+++ <nop>JavaSymphony

"<nop>JavaSymphony is a high-level Java-based programming paradigm for parallel and distributed systems. <nop>JavaSymphony is a part of the ASKALON - a programming environment and performance tool set for cluster and grid computing.
It is build as a Java class library that allows the user to control parallelism, load balancing and locality at a high level. The communication between two different machines is build on the top of RMI. No special JVM implementation is required and <nop>JavaSymphony is portable to every machine that runs JVM."

---+++ Globus

Ok, Globus is a Goliath, JCuckoo is a David. Targetted for different purposes Globus is an amazing collaboration project.

---+++ BOINC

BOINC is a software platform for distributed computing using volunteer computer resources . It provides infrastructure to such projects as: SETI@home, LHC@home,Predictor@home, Climateprediction.net.

---+++ SETI@home

A perfect usage of distributed computing. With the help of JCuckoo it will be possible to create infrastructure even for massive grid computing and run custom numerical projects.

<!--
---++!! Java Virtual Machines we prefer

---+++!! IBM JDK
Certainly the fastest Java VM for Linux. Highly recommended. Can outperform Sun JDK 1.4.2 even 3x in numerical numbercrunching

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/

---+++!! SUN JDK
The only reasonable choice for Windows. Our benchmarks suggest (based on the Linux OS comarison) that 1.5 is significantly slower than 1.4 versions.

---+++ JVM comparison

Comparison of various <nop>JVM implementations. Should be up-to-date more or less.

---+++ Grid Cafe

Gives a nice explanation of grid computing concept in a popular way.
